The Night Before

Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie are three friends who annually celebrate Christmas Eve with a big night out.

See the official Sony Pictures page for more, this will have a wide release across the UK, so use Find Any Film for where you can catch it.

Krampus

A rather different festive film as a little boy, disillusioned with Christmas after his family start bickering over the preparations for it, turns his back on the season of goodwill and cheer to all men. This unleashes the wrath of the titular demon, who feeds on the bad thoughts of unbelievers and wreaks havoc on the house. Toni Collette stars.

The Lesson

Bulgarian morality drama: in a small Bulgarian town Nadezhda, a young teacher, is looking for the robber in her class so she can teach him a lesson about right and wrong. But when she gets in debt to loan sharks, can she find the right way out herself?

Chemsex

As provocative a title for a film as one can imagine, this documentary looks at the modern phenomena of ‘Chemsex’ where in young gay men take illegal drugs to heighten sexual pleasure, which has led to an increase in sexually transmitted diseases. See the official Peccadillo Pictures webpage for more and where you can see the film.

The Show Of Shows

Future Shock! The Story Of 2000AD

Comic book fans are in for a treat. On a limited run so use Find Any Film for the nearest screen to you. The official webpage has the trailer.

And from Sunday 6 December…

Essex Boys: The Truth

No, not a warts and all expose of the male members of the TOWIE cast, but a documentary that looks at ten of the bloodiest years in UK gangland history.

On December 6th 1995, three members of the notorious Essex Boys firm were brutally executed in the most infamous gangland murders in British history. Immediately the lies and deceit started from those who wished to distance themselves from matters arising for this terrible event and those who for their own reasons wanted to associate themselves with the dead men.
